Potato Pie on Kefir Dough in the Oven
Instructions
Switch on the oven to preheat. Peel the potatoes. Place them in a container of cold water.
Pour 0.5 litres of kefir into an enamelled container. Add pepper and salt. Add the baking soda. Mix well.
Add a little sunflower oil. Stir. Pour in the flour and mix. Add more flour if needed. The dough should be soft but manageable.
Grease your hands with sunflower oil and transfer the dough to the baking sheet. Spread the dough evenly over the surface of the baking sheet.
Cut the potatoes into medium cubes or small slices. Distribute them evenly over the entire surface of the baking sheet. Sprinkle with pepper and salt.
Pour the remaining kefir into an enamelled container. Add a pinch of salt. Half a teaspoon of baking soda. Mix well.
Carefully add the flour, stirring the mixture. The dough should be liquid.
Using a tablespoon, spread the liquid dough evenly over the entire surface of the pie, filling all the gaps between the pieces of potato. The dough should completely cover the filling in a layer of about 0.5 cm. Place the pie on the middle shelf of an oven preheated to 230°C and bake for 40–50 minutes. Don't open the door for the first 30 minutes – a sharp change in temperature may cause the dough to sink.
Three to five minutes before it's done, take the pie out and brush it with vegetable or sunflower oil. Put the pie back in the oven.This tender, golden homemade potato pie on kefir dough from the oven is unlikely to leave anyone indifferent. It is not at all difficult to bake. You won't find a better way to gather family and friends at one table. The smell of baking always draws the household to the kitchen, giving everyone the chance to chat warmly over a tasty homemade dinner.
Tips
- 1
Add fried onion to the filling – it gives the potatoes a richer flavour and aroma.
- 2
For a more golden crust, brush the pie with beaten egg yolk instead of oil 10 minutes before it's done.
FAQ
Can I use kefir of any fat content? +
Yes, but with 3.2% kefir the dough turns out softer and fluffier. Low-fat kefir gives a denser texture, but the pie will still be tasty.
Why is the potato raw inside? +
Cut the potatoes into thin slices (no thicker than 3–4 mm), or use potatoes pre-boiled until half-cooked.
